If you look at this in a different perspective, furi might be the reasonable one and everyone else is delusional and blinded by rage? Just maybe. _________________ Has arrived..

That... sure that is a possibility, but a couple of weeks ago he was accusing me of sitting around collaborating with a secret cabal of members to try and influence my supposed groupies into an elaborate scheme of character assassination against him.
So you know... I doubt it. _________________

If you look at it from an even crazier perspective, we're all just martial arts fighters, torn from across worlds to compete in a fighting tournament; set to mercilessly brawl not only for our lives, but to save our world/s from dominion by a psychopathic brutish despot from another dimension.

I love how this always crops up in community meltdowns.
Without a userbase, a site's owner has no one to read content and no one to (attempt to) make money off.
PALGN certainly wasn't the only site out there writing high quality content, but it did crop up in the right place at the right time and got this community out of it. Passing off said community does nothing but put a site back at square one. |
This is true and I guess its a risk assessment on his behalf, but ive always been of the opinion that if its free you dont have a say and if you dont like it you always have the ability to move on.
Im not justifying what has transpired here but just feel that there are other ways of showing support for the outgoing staff by following them to wherever they may go, not by name calling and carrying on the way some have.
I bow out I cant make my point any clearer I just hope that this doesnt happen on the new site that is all.
I will be very upset if another Killzone comes out and I cant read Denny's review or Mass Effect 3 comes out and I cant read Jarrods these are the things that upset me not palgn's future. _________________

Stop putting words in my mouth.
At no point did I say it was elaborate.

Asking people to simply get over it will not work. Does a conflict just stops? No, there are the "healing" stage and then there are those that will never forgive. I don't blame people for the outburst, stuff happens.
There appears to be a mis-communication BOTH side and due to this mis-communication. Owner keeping staff in the dark, staff upset, community backed staff which are part of the community.
This event is unfortunate but it is a classic case of a communication breakdown which happened for years and was overlooked.
Pastebin still does not tell the full story, interpret it whatever way you want, I have my views also from IRC when staff wants to communicate with the owner and is given the silence treatment for too long.
I do try and avoid jumping on the bandwagon if I can but I cannot stand some people who are "do as I say, don't do as I do" (this affect only a very few individual). I don't think all these events were intention by both sides and if you are not aware by now, there has been a lot of silence treatments in the past and this had no doubt contributed.
Events like Ob's removal of staff silently, I feel for him. I had the same thing happened to me, this feeling of being betrayed may leave a bitter taste. I'm surprised Obs is still around  _________________ "Work hard now, play even harder later"

Jason, I like how all of a sudden when yours and Rolands reputation starts getting affected (Even more so) you come in here telling everyone to start acting like adults.
No point telling you how to run the site though, after all it is Rolands. But as long as you guys don't mind 80+% of the people that actually make the site function going off to do their own thing.

who's been editing posts + whatnot. They shouldn't be moderators if they've done it.
lets not beat around the bush; the past moderation team on this forum have been for twatty and hence then limited posts I make these days. I really don't care. As for this whole "PALGN" has gone down the toilet comments;
well, the front end - the website; I don't think anyone ever really visits. Hence I'm really not surprised not more attention is given to it by the current owners. The forum is what drives it and hence all "the drama" - its the same old few regulars posting; their outrage and what not.
Poor behaviour from all involved in the "forum dramas + bannings" is wholely unsurprising.
btw leaking emails and trying to embarrass the site owner who still currently pays for the server so I can actually use the forum (still) is just pilthy behaviour for those involved. _________________

I can understand this attitude given PALGN is probably one of the few forums you haven't been permanently banned from. _________________

You will actually be surprised. I started as a lurker and was only active in the forum after lurking for a long time but was definitely a long time lurker. What I loved about PALGN was the news wasn't as fast-paced or slow-paced as the big site but there was quality features like the Gaming Bargains of a few sorts.
Going around a lot of social networking, I am actually surprised to here a lot of people who also follows the site but not the forums. However, the commbank ad did affect people a bit but they were happy to overlooked that if it meant they still have the material that they got at the golden years of PALGN.
As for the mods, I have been much worse so PALGN compared to many other sites. My username is very masculine for a reason! _________________ "Work hard now, play even harder later"

^Been opened up after finding out PALGN is quire female friendly, unlike many other forum in the past!
After reading more, it seems like there has been a lot of editing and post deletions as well making me harder to understand the open letter  _________________ "Work hard now, play even harder later"
